The Treasurer’s Office is beginning preliminary work on the 2012 tax cycle.  To ensure that you receive your tax bills on time, please make sure to notify our office of any changes to the information that we have on file: Owner name, mortgage escrow company (if there’s one involved and there’s been a recent change), mailing address, etc.  Also, if you are a child of an elderly parent and are now helping them with these matters, please let us know if you would like the tax bills mailed directly to you.
